  • Nova Scotia's Promotion of Green Energy and Carbon Reduction
    Ecological Modernization in a “Have-Not,” Coal-Powered, Energy-Insecure Province: Nova Scotia’s Promotion of Green Energy and Carbon Reduction DRAFT: Please do not cite Anders Hayden Assistant Professor Department of Political Science Dalhousie University 6299 South St Halifax NS B3H 4H6 Canada e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Nova Scotia has emerged as one of the Canadian provinces most committed to green energy and carbon reduction. Ecological modernization theory suggests that climate action offers “win-win” opportunities for new jobs, profits, and export opportunities. However, compared to other jurisdictions that have linked green-energy strategies to strengthening their well-developed manufacturing bases, Nova Scotia has less capacity to capture the industrial-expansion opportunities. As the province with the fourth highest per-capita carbon emissions and the second lowest per-capita income, Nova Scotia faces particular challenges in absorbing the upfront costs of shifting to green energy and improving energy efficiency. Given such obstacles, how does one explain Nova Scotia’s introduction of relatively strong climate and green-energy policy? This paper argues that the province’s energy insecurity—particularly its vulnerability to the rising costs of imported fossil energy—provides a powerful motivator that compensates for other difficulties in making the economic case for climate action. As such, Nova Scotia differs from many other provinces and more closely resembles some European states, where energy- security concerns have been a key force behind renewable-energy and efficiency policies. However, the province faces key obstacles in reconciling the economic, environmental, and energy-security goals of its green-energy policies, including the double-edged role of steadily rising power rates and the challenges of constructing a politically sustainable green-energy coalition.

    MEDIA ADVISORY __________________________________________________________________________________________________ For Immediate Release Tuesday, August 27, 2013 DECLARATION FOR THE RIGHT TO LITERACY UNVEILED – MULCAIR, DEXTER, CHISHOLM FIRST TO BEAR WITNESS Citizens governed by written law ought to be able to read and comprehend written law. (Dartmouth, NS) – 48% of working age Canadian lack the basic skills necessary to live and work in a knowledge based economy. Low literacy impacts the economy as these Canadians are unable to obtain employment. If low literacy slows down the economic growth of a country, and 48% of working age Canadian are struggling to attach them to the labour market why is the Canada Job Grants Program poised to ensure that many Canadians remain marginalized? The Right to Literacy Campaign was first introduced at the Right to Literacy Convention in Buffalo, New York, on June 13, 2009. The premise was simple, “The very existence of a written constitution, the supreme law of the land calls for an electorate that is literate enough to engage in it and other written laws without mediation. In other words citizens governed by written law ought to be able to read and comprehend written law. We all have the Right to Literacy.” The Dartmouth Learning Network has chosen to take the lead on the Declaration for the Right to Literacy awareness campaign in Canada. The campaign was launched at Alderney Landing on August 26th, 2013 and the first people to bear witness to the Declaration were Mr. Thomas Mulcair, Leader of the Official Opposition in Canada, and the Federal NDP Party, Mr. Darrell Dexter, Premier of Nova Scotia and Mr.
